BONANZA is a sprawling western television series about wealthy rancher Ben Cartwright and his three sons---Adam (Pernell Roberts), a two-fisted gunfighter with a penchant for design and engineering; Hoss (Dan Blocker), a huge and slightly dimwitted but good-hearted strongman in a big white ten-gallon hat; and Little Joe (Michael Landon, later of LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE), a young hothead always getting into trouble over women or disputes of any imaginable description with almost anybody. Like all 1950s TV western series leads, the Cartwrights were superb fistfighters, able to knock almost anyone unconscious with a single blow from either fist. Ben had the enviable advantage of having apparently been everywhere and done everything prior to settling down on his thousand-acre empire (the Ponderosa) outside Virginia City, Nevada, so he could always speak from an intimidating reservoir of experience. In Blood on the Land, one of the screen's finest actors, Everett Sloane (CITIZEN KANE), portrays a rogue shepherd using the Ponderosa's grassy meadows to feed his hungry sheep. When he's told to leave, he kidnaps Adam in an attempt to ransom the deed to the entire ranch.DVD Features:Region (Unknown)Keep CaseFull Frame - 1.33Additional Release Material: Biographies Photo Gallery Interactive Menus PC/ Mac Compatible
